Spring exterior painting books up early, and the weather window in Wisconsin is not long. Winter is the time to plan.

Key Takeaways

• Plan in winter for spring painting.
• Weather limits the window.
• Settle approvals early.
• Share photos and a must-finish date.

What to do in winter

Spring crews fill early. Walking the building, listing surfaces and comparing bids in winter gets you in line.

• Walk the building and list surfaces
• Get scopes and compare bids
• Settle color and approvals

What limits the window

Temperature and moisture limit exterior work. A period of mild, dry days is needed for coatings to apply and cure properly.

• Temperature and moisture
• Surface dryness after the thaw
• Other work scheduled around the building

Make booking easier

Landlord, tenant or district approvals can take time. Start them while you are collecting bids.

• Share photos and a short description
• Name your must-finish date
• Ask what the contractor needs from you

Spring is busy for exterior painters, and the number of good painting days is limited. Planning in winter gives you a place in line and time to settle approvals.

Include any landlord, tenant or district approvals in the plan. They can take longer than expected.
